Do you want fries with that?

Every year we have a fish fry for our friends, family & neighbors. In early June DH (dear husband) & DS (dear son) go halibut fishing off the shores of British Columbia and we fry up the halibut while its fresh. Everything is homemade from scratch, so its a lot of work, but everyone pitches in and helps lighten the load. Of course the results are worth every drop of energy! The menu is usually fish & chips, homemade tartar sauce, coleslaw, brocolli salad, pea salad, fruit salad & homemade ice cream for dessert.

I had fun scrapping this picture of my DD2 (dear daughter #2) Lauren in the kitchen slicing the potatoes for the fries. This picture was taken in 2003 and I’m just now getting around to scrapping it. Even if I believed in being caught up I’m so far from having all of my pictures scrapped, I just need to learn to appreciate the journey!
